What's on the design board?

Batik Fabrics
I used a pattern called Strips and Ladders to make this lap quilt top.

The pattern is not an easy one to follow but with a little maneuvering, I got to this point.

I used a fat quarter bundle made up of some pretty green, blue and purple batiks. I have never used batiks before; I'm not all that fond of them. I do have to admit that they are easy to work with since there's no right or wrong side and the process they go through to dye them makes the fabrics a little stiffer which makes cutting more accurate.

After moving the blocks around on the design board a bit, I came up with this layout. I made these blocks in 1 day. Such a quick quilt to do.
